Traditional Luau, Whale Watching, Waikiki Beach
Duration: 2 weeks
Cities: Honolulu
Miles Travelled: 7,000
Our trip to Hawaii was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, filled with breathtaking landscapes, warm hospitality, and unforgettable moments. We stayed in Honolulu on the island of Oahu, where the vibrant mix of city life and natural beauty gave us the best of both worlds. Every morning began with the scent of tropical flowers and the sound of waves crashing along Waikiki Beach.
Along the beaches, we were lucky enough to spot a Hawaiian monk seal resting in the sun — so rare and protected that locals had cordoned off the area to give it space. These encounters added a sense of wonder and connection to nature that made our trip even more special.

Honolulu
Our trip to Honolulu was an unforgettable escape filled with beauty, adventure, and serenity. From the moment we landed, the warm air and gentle aloha spirit embraced us. We explored Waikiki Beach, swam in crystal-clear waters, and watched surfers ride perfect waves. Hiking up Diamond Head offered breathtaking views of the coastline. The food was incredible — fresh poke, tropical fruits, and Hawaiian BBQ. One highlight was a Christmas Eve dinner cruise, where we watched dolphins and whales as the sun dipped below the horizon. It was magical, peaceful, and filled our hearts with joy. Honolulu truly felt like paradise.

Hawaiian Xmas Eve Diner
Our trip to Hawaii felt like a dream, with warm breezes and turquoise waters welcoming us each day. On Christmas Eve, we boarded a boat for dinner, the sky painted in gold and rose as the sun began to set. As we ate, wild dolphins danced alongside us, their playful jumps filling us with childlike wonder. A pod of whales appeared in the distance, their presence so majestic it brought quiet tears of awe and gratitude. In that moment, surrounded by nature’s beauty and holiday magic, our hearts felt full, peaceful, and completely alive.
